The Challenge

The core challenge was designing game mechanics that accurately reflected real career demands without feeling like a disguised aptitude test. Korean students and parents are acutely aware of career pressure — the platform had to feel genuinely playful while still being trusted by educators as a serious career tool.

If it feels like a test, students game it. If it feels like play, they reveal who they actually are.
